Brandon Pryde - Under the Laurel Tree

My emotions are on high from the moment that I wake
It's a gift from the devil, a deal I cannot break
It's taken over my body, and a sickness to my health
Looking down the bottle, hoping to find myself
My body starts to freeze, my mind goes black
And in that moment, there's no going back
I need to take some time and rediscover me
I need to start over
Under the Laurel Tree
I miss the way the sun would dance upon your skin
I promised that I'd wait, my patience wearing thin
People ask me where I've been, it's solitude I seek
I'm sad, but I am me
Back where I found my peace, under the laurel tree
Tell me baby was it easy pretending you still care
I admire how you move so freely, how was I so unaware, aware
Flip the script now as lonely as it may seem
It's better this than drowning in a daydream
My judgement, as clouded as it may be
My new fit, a crown they called me crazy
But I won't lie, you know I think of you each day
I won't move on or just pretend that I'm okay, I'm okay
I miss the way the rain would cascade through your hair
I counted on you, when I need you, you're not there
People ask me how I've been, I've lost a half of me
If she could only see the man that I could be
I miss the way the sun would dance upon your skin
I promised that I'd wait, my patience wearing thin
People ask me where I've been, It's solitude I seek
I'm sad, but I and me
Back where I found my peace, under the laurel tree
Yeah, yeah, yeah, under the laurel tree
I'm me, I'm me, I'm me
